I like the shinohara points and wish to make them more "DCC friendly" by arRanging that the point blade is always at the same polarity as the adjancet stock rail. The blade rails are elcetrically linked at two positions. At the tie bar and at the hinge by a metal strip that is rivitted to the sleepers. Has anyone any tips for cutting these pieces of metal without adversly affecting the mechanical strength of the point? I am aware that I also need to make further cuts in the rails to electrically separate the frog from the blades.
Thanks
